Three Days to go

I was at Boots this morning, moments after it opened, to get a couple of last minute things for my trip to Uganda.
I am nervous and excited. I will miss my husband and children; my eldest is off on his first holiday without the family and I won't be here to make sure that all his packing goes smoothly (although I'm sure my husband and mother-in-law will do and excellent job!) I am wondering how I will cope with hard physical work in the humid sunshine, biting insects and local food and what the God of all surprises has in store for me.

Hey Gaynor - I really enjoy your blog- you're a highly quirky and likeable person, but you must learn to CHILL OUT. Really, you can't control everything, and for every little part of your children for example, which you don't control, a little part grows all by itself and makes them stronger, more imaginative, self-sufficient and powerful.

Thanks for your kind comments. If I had a pound for every time I'd been told to chill out I would be a very rich lady! :-) Still, I do think I am more chilled than I used to be, so there is hope for me yet!

Praying for this new adventure God has planned for you! I know He will reveal Himself to you in ways you've never before experienced. Looking forward to hearing about it when you've returned and settled back into regular life.
